Views:

Seeing that Chunhong had been crying, Di Renjie stopped questioning, turned his head and said to the maids who came to testify: "Well, there is nothing to do with you here, so you can withdraw!"

The maidservants were relieved, repeatedly bowed their heads to thank you, and withdrew from the main hall. Di Renjie walked slowly to the housekeeper Tang Lu and said: "Steward Tang, go out of this pavilion, you take someone to keep this Chunhong here and go to this pavilion Go back!"

After finishing talking, Di Renjie winked at Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying immediately understood and walked out of the main hall with Di Renjie. Di Renjie looked up and saw that the maidservants who testified were not far away, and said to Xiao Ying: "Lord Xiao, Go and stop them!"

Xiao Ying stepped forward quickly and stopped the maids. Several people looked back and found that Di Renjie was walking towards them. They couldn't help but panic, and their expressions were full of panic!

Di Renjie walked up to a few people, and the maidservants hurriedly gave salutes, but Di Renjie waved his hands and said, "Well, exemption, exemption! This pavilion would like to ask you where does Chunhong, the maidservant live?"

A maid replied: "Go back to your lord, I know Chunhong's room, I can take you there!"

Di Renjie nodded, and said very politely: "Okay, that's a lot of work!"

The maid took Di Renjie and Xiao Ying and continued to walk forward. The remaining maids couldn't help but have doubts, feeling that the Master Di in front of them and the one in the main hall just now were really different!

The maid brought Di Renjie and Xiao Ying to a house in the backyard. It was a house with a ridge, one on the left and one on the right!

The maid said: "My lord, this is Chunhong's room, and this is the room for the maidens!"

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment and asked: "So you are next to Chunhong, and the pavilion asks you, did you hear anything in Chunhong's room on the night of Xiaocui's accident?"

The maid shook her head slightly, and said, "The girl didn’t hear anything. It just seemed that Chunhong came back very late that night, or maybe she never came back. The girl’s clothes were scratched that night and I want to find it. She borrowed needles and thread and came to look for her twice. She was not in the room, thinking about waiting for her to hold the lamp, and the girl came back. Later, she didn’t see her come back until the girl fell asleep. I no longer know!"

After hearing what the maid said, Di Renjie nodded and said, "Okay! This pavilion knows, you go back first!"

The handmaid retired, Di Renjie said to Xiao Ying: "

Go, let's go in and have a look! "

Xiao Ying stepped forward and pushed the door open. Di Renjie stepped into the room. The room was not big and looked much shabby compared to Xiao Cui's room!

Xiao Ying sneered: "No wonder this Chunhong would be so ridiculed to Xiaocui, is there a big gap between this maid and the maid?"

Because the furnishings in the room are very simple, Di Renjie quickly inspected every detail and said with some loss: "It seems that there should be no clues in this spring red room. Okay, let's go!"

Xiao Ying nodded, and when the two were about to leave the house, Di Renjie stopped abruptly and looked at something standing next to the door!

"Elder Ge, what are you looking at?" Xiao Ying asked curiously!

Di Renjie pointed to the thing and said, "Commander Xiao, look at this!"

Xiao Ying stepped forward and picked up the thing, and said indifferently, "Hey! Elder Ge, isn't this just the maidservant's laundry service? Nothing unusual?"

Di Renjie took the pounding pestle, waved it in his hand, and slowly said, "Commander Xiao, do you think this thing can form the wound on the back of Xiao Cui's head?"

"Elder Ge, do you think this is the weapon that hit Xiao Cui's head?" Xiao Ying took the Da Yi Chu in Di Renjie's hand with doubts, squeezed it in her hand, and touched the edge of Da Yi Chu, remembering in her mind. The shape of the wound on the back of Xiaocui's head!

Suddenly, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and said, "Old Ge, from this position, if the murderer hits the back of Xiao Cui's head with this pounding pestle, he can indeed form that kind of special wound. This should be a murder weapon!"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Commander Xiao, take this to Xiao Cui's corpse!"

The two quickly walked out of Chunhong’s room and came to the wood house where Xiao Cui’s body was parked. Di Renjie lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and waved to Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying held the pounding pestle and measured Xiao Cui. The wound on the back of the head changed a few angles, and Xiao Ying exclaimed: "Old Ge, you see, it fits perfectly!"

Di Renjie twisted his beard in thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head!

Xiao Ying was a little puzzled, and asked quickly: "Old Ge, is there any problem with this?"

Di Renjie thought about it for a moment, and said: "It was indeed Da Yi Chu who hit Xiao Cui's head and left scars, but it should not be this Da Yi Chu!"

Xiao Ying said in surprise: "Elder Ge, this pounding pestle is all the same. The maids who are in charge of washing clothes have a hand.

Can’t tell? "

Di Renjie twisted the beard and said, "The Daoyichu that hit Xiaocui should be Xiaocui’s own, Commander Xiao, think about it, just now you said that the maidservants in Daoyichu had a hand, but we searched all over Xiaocui. In my room, I didn't see Daoyichu. Where is Xiaocui’s Daoyichu?"

Xiao Ying recalled the scene of searching Xiaocui's room at that time, and indeed she didn't see Daoyichu!

Di Renjie continued: "I think it was the murderer who took the materials on the spot and beat Xiao Cui with Xiao Cui's pounding pestle. It is very likely that the bloody pounding pestle was thrown into the well along with Xiao Cui's body!"

"Well! It makes sense!" Xiao Ying agreed!

Di Renjie stroked his long beard lightly and continued: "If this is the case, then Chunhong is more suspected. The murderer who killed Xiaocui did not carry a weapon, but collected materials from the spot, which shows that he should have acted hastily. There was no preparation beforehand, and according to steward Tang, Gou Er also came to the villa to deliver rice on a temporary notice, and after he arrived at the villa, Chun Hong mentioned to him that he had been beaten, so this Gou Er wanted to avenge his sweetheart. So it's also a temporary motive! This makes sense!"

Xiao Ying nodded, and said, "Well, Elder Ge's analysis has no flaws, maybe this is the case!"

Di Renjie stretched out his hand to cover the white cloth on Xiao Cui's body, and said, "Go, continue to try this Chunhong!"

The two of them walked out of the wood shed and walked straight to the main hall. They were almost at the door of the main hall. Suddenly they heard bursts of anger, "You damn slave and maid, who criticized the owner of the house behind you, and committed murder. You are still making sophistry. Today I will be called Come on, come on! Call me!"

Di Renjie's expression tightened, and quickly speeded up, stepping into the main hall, Di Renjie cried out, "Stop!"

When everyone saw Di Renjie coming back, they immediately stepped aside!

Di Renjie said sternly: "Steward Tang, this pavilion just ordered you to be detained, but did not let you use lynching. Although Chunhong is suspected of being tortured, he also needs to hear the judgment of the pavilion!"

Butler Tang Lu hurriedly apologized, "Adults calm down, but the little ones are really angry. He didn't hold back his anger for a while, so he acted recklessly. I hope the adults will forgive me!"

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Well, you can withdraw first!"

Tang Lu, the housekeeper, stepped aside with interest, and Di Renjie sat back on the chair of the master, looked at the trembling Chunhong, and asked, "Bold Chunhong, can't you explain it truthfully?"
